Aye, but what happens if either diode fails and conducts both ways. Is your
active coil then driven by two sets of points going to ground at the same
time. If the points are slightly out in gap/alignment on lobes is dwell time
extended or ignition timing altered. Hmmmm.
I reckon it's easier and more reliable to do away with a coil tacho all
together and use a tooth counter sender off the ring gear then tacho failure
won't stop your ignition.
